Behold the Blazing Angel (part 4 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Well, here we are! The finale of my look back at the "Batman: Sword of Azrael" miniseries is here at last! And just in time for Thanksgiving too. So, when you're stressed out from trying to get along with relatives you've hardly met (And some you wish you hadn't met period!) this holiday season, why…
Behold the Blazing Angel (part 3 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
She was born! My granddaughter, Lillian "Symbigal" Miller, was born at last! And now that I've actually held her in my arms, my "grandfather craving" has been momentarily satisfied and I can concentrate a bit better. So, onto Unspoken Decade biz. When we last left Azrael, he was shot several times and thusly forced through…
Behold the Blazing Angel (part 2 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Greetings, Unspokenites and welcome back to the site. You know, it occurred to me that it's been awhile since we sat down and chatted about what's going on with me. You see, in a matter of weeks, my first grandchild will be born. Exciting, huh? The only problem is…..the stubborn child seems to be quite…
Behold the Blazing Angel (part 1 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
I remember being really late to the party when it came to Azrael. By the time I learned about the character, he was already on his way to becoming the new Batman. This meant I'd missed his first appearance by quite a bit. So, rather than spending tons of my parents' hard-earned cash on backissues,…
Fun With Monsters | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
I defy any of you to best me at the "Monster in my Pocket" game on the original Nintendo! Come at me, bro! That said, the "Monster in my Pocket" miniature figures began appearing in toy and department stores in 1990. They were colorful, detailed, and just plain awesome! They would continue to be produced…
Hark the Heralds (part 6 of 6) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
The time has finally arrived, Unspokenites! It's the conclusion of my endless prattling about the "Silver Surfer: Herald Ordeal" storyline! Yay! I bet you're all really jazzed that this amazing journey we've been on together is ending at last. You think you are?! I had to write every damn word of it! I tell you,…
Hark the Heralds (part 5 of 6) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Here it is, folks! Coming straight to you from my bathroom as I sit upon my porcelain throne, part five of six is completed in my comprehensive look back at the Silver Surfer: "Herald Ordeal" epic! (Guys, I'm starting to think I have stomach issues.....) Now, on with the story! Terrax sat upon a large…
Hark the Heralds (part 4 of 6) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Why has there never been an ongoing comic series spotlighting the many Heralds of Galactus on awesome, cosmic adventures? There have been a few specials here and there, sure. But never an ongoing series. I mean, Marvel will release comics about every single Spider-Person in the known multiverse, but this can't be a thing? Fools.…
Hark the Heralds (part 3 of 6) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Okay, so we've gone over only a small fraction of this cosmic tale so far. And there's plenty more to come, Unspokenites! So, Shall we just skip my mad ramblings this time and jump right into part 3 of the "Herald Ordeal"? Yes? Awesome! This story was originally printed in "Silver Surfer" #72 for those…
Hark the Heralds (part 2 of 6) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
I write this under the most dire of circumstances, Unspokenites.....I have a toothache. I know. I know. He's so brave to still write this article for us, the fans. Well now, I'm no saint. (Or am I?) Anyway, enough about my dental woes. On to the next part of my look back at the second…
Hark the Heralds (part 1 of 6) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Did you ever have a crush in elementary school and you were too afraid to tell the person yourself? Yep. Most of us did. So what did we do? We sent a messenger to look into the situation for us and act in our place. A wussy move, but hey, you do what you have…
Character Eradication (part 3 of 3) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Well, here we are. The end of the Eradicator miniseries. I hope you've enjoyed his journey to discover himself as much as I have. Like I said in the first part of this series, the Eradicator character has been a creature of constant change from his very beginning. That used to annoy me truthfully. But…
Character Eradication (Part 2 of 3) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Well, after a near-lethal bout with the flu, (At least that's what it felt like!) your loyal Symbifan has returned with more 90's DC Comics goodness! So sit back, grab a can of Surge and some 3D Doritos, and enjoy a trip back through time with the 2nd issue of "The Eradicator" miniseries from 1996!…
Character Eradication (part 1 of 3) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
And you thought Spider-Man went through some radical changes over in Marvel! But in the case of Spidey, it's usually only his costume that's altered. With the Eradicator, he has been completely revamped so many times, even a superfan like me can hardly keep track. (That's saying alot. I've been obsessed with this character since…
Dark Liaisons (part 4 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Greetings and salutations, Legions of the Unspoken! Your loyal Symbifan has returned as promised and with the final part of my look back at one of my favorite storylines from the 90's, "Spirits of Venom"! (This exciting finale was originally published in "Spirits of Vengeance" #6) As we begin, I must ask you all a…
“A Quixotic Knightmare: Alec Knight’s Extraordinary Quest” | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
“It’s Been a While...” I've been thinking about writing this article ever since my previous piece on "EXPERIENCING THE ULTRAFORCE CARTOON" for the Unspoken Decade a while ago. While I primarily focus on podcasting with "Unspoken Issues," I also have a small passion for writing. To compensate for taking so long to write again, I'm…
Dark Liaisons (part 3 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Well, I'm back at last, Unspokenites. I apologize for the long delay in getting to this third part of the story. I blame global warming personally. Okay. That was lame. Would you believe that I barely survived an alien plague? Fine. I was being lazy. Happy now? Geez! You guys are relentless! Anyway, let's shift…
Dark Liaisons (part 2 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Hello, Unspokenites and welcome back to my look back at the "Spirits of Venom" epic! Why is it an epic? Because this storyline literally made me drool as a kid at how amazingly badass it was! So I'm a little biased, sue me. (It's true about the drool unfortunately. I've gone through more copies of…
Blood N’ Guts | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Thirty years ago, Rob Liefeld’s renegade super-hero team, Brigade, went to war with the undead mercenaries of Bloodstrike in a brutal, bloody, and bone-crunching battle chronicled in a six-part epic called “Blood Brothers” Every 90’s comic nerd is at least somewhat familiar with Rob Liefeld’s Image Comics launching mega-hit Youngblood. The team book focusing on…
Dark Liaisons (part 1 of 4) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Fierce rage built up in him, ready to overflow like lava from an erupting volcano. Only his steel will stood between him and completely losing himself to it. If he were to succumb, would anyone be safe from his wrath? But enough about me quitting smoking this month. I should probably get on with the…
Green with Madness (part 3 of 3) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Well, here we are, Unspokenites! The thrilling end to the "Emerald Twilight" saga. This article's events take place in "Green Lantern" #50 and boy, was this one a page-turner! When we last left our "hero", Hal Jordan had completely lost his mind! Now, all that seems to be standing in his way of achieving ultimate…
Green with Madness (part 2 of 3) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
We've all had one of those moments in our lives where we just want to snap and go on a rampage. Something has angered us so much that we'd love to deal out some of the pain we've felt back to the world. Hal Jordan of the Green Lantern Corps has just had that moment.…
Green with Madness (part 1 of 3) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
There I was, close to certain death. As I lie in my bed, my life flashed before my eyes. Yes. This was the end of your loyal Symbifan. No more posts. No more articles. The end. Well, perhaps I'm exaggerating just a bit. I had the flu. Don't laugh! You know how sickness is for…
An X-Treme Opinion – There Was Never Intended To Be A Third Summers Brothers. | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Written by: Tawmis Logue See the article I originally wrote: https://theunspokendecade.com/2015/06/02/things-just-got-x-treme/ Now you’re reading that title and either screaming I am wrong – because Sinister even hinted as much in X-Men #23, when Sinister had told Cyclops: “… but I care enough to wish you and your brothers to be protected from this illness.” Fabian…
A Guy Walks into a Dimensional Portal….. | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Who misses Saturday morning cartoons? Come on, a show of hands. Me too. Those were the days. Remember when Elmer Fudd would walk off of a cliff and not fall until he noticed, or Jerry would hand Tom a stick of dynamite and he wouldn't die from the explosion, but instead resemble a struck match?…
Avenging Knight | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
"Prep time" isn't always the solution to everything. I just wanted to say that before I started my first article solely about Batman. Why do I say that? Because Batman fanboys the world over have used that answer forever on how the Dark Knight can defeat any character in all of comicdom. But the man…
Flight of the Darkhawk | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
I remember being in Junior High. I normally had a miserable time in school, but this new, bigger environment was far worse as I have several mental disabilities. But I hadn't yet been concretely diagnosed. People just thought I hated school. In truth, I was suffering from agoraphobia and severe social anxiety. My only happy…
A Superman Will Rise (part 2 of 2) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Happy Holidays, Unspokenites! And welcome back to my look back at the Elseworlds epic from "Superman: The Man of Steel" Annual #3! I know it's been awhile since part one dropped, but rest assured, your loyal Symbifan never forgot about you. So, that said, I present my gift to you all. Let us return to…
A Superman Will Rise (part 1 of 2) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Are heroes made, or are they born? What about superheroes? That's the question I pondered as I read this fascinating, Elseworlds annual as a kid. I never came to a concrete conclusion truthfully. What about you? Read on, Unspokenites, and then see if you can decide. Here's my look at "Superman: The Man of Steel"…
Long Live the King! (part 2) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Gather around, my fellow Unspokenites, and let me tell you a tale! A tale of one of the coolest, yet frequently forgotten, characters in all of the Aquaman mythos! I speak of course of King Noble, ruler of the underdwelling people, the Lurkers. When I last left you, Aquaman and Noble had gotten into a…
Avenging Hero…..in a Tutu | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
What's hideously deformed, smells of toxic waste, and wears a ragged pink tutu? Yo mama! Ha! I kill myself sometimes! Ahem. Seriously though. If you answered, "The Toxic Avenger", you'd be right on the money. The Toxic Avenger was created in 1984 as a black comedy/horror/superhero film for Troma Entertainment. Though the movie was low-budget…
Feelin’ Blue: The Tragic Story of Cobalt Blue | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Captain Cold. Mirror Master. Gorilla Grodd. The Reverse Flash. Yeah. Them you know. But do you know the most underappreciated Flash villain of all? I'll give you a hint. His name's in the title. That's right! Cobalt Blue! What? Who's that?! Well let me educate you..... (By the way, I was tempted to list "The…
Beacon of Hope | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
Hello, boys and girls! Are we all ready for storytime? You are? Good. Gather around and sit down crisscross-applesauce. I have a story that's perfect for children. It's about a colorful and cheery alternate dimension. It was called the "Age of Apocalypse". Doesn't that sound fun? Great! Well, I have your permission slips, so let's…
Maxx-imum Speculation | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
I get the Maxx. He sees a world around himself that may or may not be real. Most of the time, this leaves him disoriented and confused. Yet he pushes forward heroically. I'm diagnosed as Schizoaffective. (Truth be told, I probably fall under a dozen different categories. I think my shrinks over the years just…
Long Live the King! (part 1) | The Unspoken Decade: 90's Comic Book Blog Extraordinaire
So, does he just talk to fish? Sadly, that's all that enters most people's minds when they think of Aquaman. The guy rules nearly three fourths of the planet, can rip open a tank with his bare hands, and has skin that's tough enough to withstand the intense pressure of the lowest depths of the…
